Is there a way to force connecting to the 5Ghz wifi band?

Your 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks probably have different BSSIDs. In my
wpa_supplicant.conf, I list the two by BSSID instead of my SSID:

    # 5 GHz
    network={
           bssid=00:11:22:33:44:56
           psk="password"
           priority=2
    }
    # 2.4 GHz
    network={
            bssid=00:11:22:33:44:55
            psk="password"
            priority=1
    }

Best,
David
